My entire life, I was trained to be a perfect bride. I thought I was ready for my wedding. I longed to meet the man who would be my husband. Instead I met him— The Master. He says I'm not good enough. He says I haven't learned everything I need. Ten lessons are all that stand between me and my future. But the sensual journey he takes me on will teach me more than I ever dreamed.
I would actually give this book 3.5 stars if possible. But since that’s not an option and 4 stars is too many 3 will have to do. While I am a fan of good consensual BDSM reading, this book is way too heavy on female debasement and humility, to the point of being very distasteful in my opinion. Malcolm and Julia are good strong characters and made me want to continue reading. But even so, they just weren’t enough to keep me from skipping many parts just to get to the next interesting part of the book. This “world” may truly exist in our lives somewhere but it’s not one I care to know details about or be a part of. There are so many ways for folks to get their “kink” on without treating women cruelly and calling them vile names. Show me some less degrading scenes and more respect for women Raven and I might be willing to read more of your books.
Ngl I skimmed most of this. I didn't read it in order. I wanted to read the smut if I'm being honest (I was a teeny bit horny when I read it). But anyway. I just read random parts of it until I had read everything and it feels so nostalgic now tbh. The smut was giving, Malcolm was so cold and hot and the plot was non existent. It was such a mess and I LOVED it. If you're horny and want to read something then I definitely recommend this.
I Couldn't get enough of this book. Hard to put down 5 out of 5. The characters will draw you in leaving you wanting to know every detail. And no detail is left out.
